Question 2
Imagine that some researchers are trying to design a computer-simulation model for an arithmetic task. They would be most likely to

c. examine the way people's strategies change as they become more familiar with the task.
d. create a system that uses a problem-solving technique that is similar to the way humans would solve the problem.
